Cant believe the BOM town forecasts. It goes from a week ahead with 20%, 50%, 70% chances of rain to one of 0% and 5% the next day. Getting a bit over this wet season. Missed all the action and its been fairly dry ever since even with a LOW spiraling away just inland currently. So Frustrating.

Pops its early days and at least we have had some decent rain a lot better than this time last year.Maybe you should have just a few more beers at night to calm your nerves....

Yeah was a wicked storm to experience. Loaded up with a gallon of DEET and headed out to Roebuck Plains to sit it out. Almost felt like you were in front of a strobe light it was flashing away so hard. Managed to timelapse 90 minutes of 10 sec images on the DSLR from when it was well off in the distance to when the shelf cloud was straight overhead and the winds hit hard. Hitailed it out of there with winds and lightning like daylight behind me and raced it back to town for a second round of lightning as it moved offshore. Best night chase of the season so far. Adrenaline big time.

Cheers Des. Yeah didn't see one CG in front of that shelfie in over 90 minutes but hundreds in behind it especially back in town off Cables later into the night. Must be the nature of those storms in the shelf is well ahead of the active part of the storm and shields the carnage. It went off though as it passed.
